Pokefan Miguel on Route 103 has an uncapitalized I in his trainer intro.

Pokenav call from AMY, name capitalized.

Fog glitches on Fray Manor isle - go to where the Binding Band is and you'll see.

The Marill on the beach near Fray Manor has a decapitalized M in its name.

Lass Ffion uses 'mum' rather than 'mom'. Possibly intentional?

You can hop over a fence and onto the same space as a moving character just outside of Mauville in Jungle Gate.

Vivid greens should have a capitalized G.

Sign at Gila Desert teaching you about PP has broken text.

Ty of Gabby and Ty has a typo of some sort in his text when you first fight them outside of Gila Desert.

During the glass-blower's dialogue, Soot Sack is in ALL CAPS.

Team Magma dialogue in Meteor Falls:
"Ugh! we're meant..." - needs capital W.

Archie's dialogue in Meteor Falls:
"They're a bunch of softies, but That's Team Magma" - erroneous capital T in "that's"
"Look, PLAYER, I get [that] this looks bad..." - insert the word "that" where shown

Should be Team Magma.
"Boss, you were..."
Misaligned text here.

Magma Grunt on Mt. Chimney - double spacing issue, useless capital and comma: "Our boss says, It will make..."

The woman who gives you the egg in Lavaridge town - something weird happens if you say No.

Rival conversation after Flannery - "Really" > "really", "ehehe > eheheh".

Seriously? I did that whole bike puzzle west of Sootopolis for a measly Stardust?

Flame Orb description is missing a full stop.

Big jump in enemy levels upon reaching Mossdeep.

Giga Drain description is wrong.

Stephen dialogue in his house post Space-Center battle: no space between "Mt." and "Pyre". There should also be a "has" before "reopened."

Parasect can't learn Shadow Claw?

I'm 75% sure Lanturn tries to learn Discharge twice.

The first grunt in Seafloor Cavern has broken post-battle dialogue.

Male Psychic in the Tar Pit platform's dialogue has a misspelled "disappointed".

Trying to Fly to Tar Pit takes you to Stormeye Bay or Six Points instead. Swimmer swimming around the sandbar with the Iron has weird dialogue referencing an Absol.

Tile error in Slateport shipyard - see attached screenshot. [no screenshot available, lost my save file :( ]

The Gym Guy in Sootopolis will give you an unlimited number of Great Balls.

I don't think I ever got any Dusk Stones - if there was supposed to be one beneath the Strength boulders near Fray Manor then it was a stat-booster instead. Don't think I found one in Mt Pyre, either.

Tile error where you get the Lucky Egg at the top of Bulba Jungle.

Steven's note in house has 'Steven' written as 'steven'.

The Suicune you get from Steven's house is referred to as a Beldum when you are prompted to nickname it. Also, it's a level 5. Really?

NAVEL ROCK is still capitalized.

SS Tidal trainers are all underleveled.

Super Nerd on SS Tidal still hints that there's something "really delicious" on board, despite the Leftovers being replaced with Black Sludge.

A Breloom in the Battle Factory knows Pound - should this be Drain Punch?

There's a move called "Jolt--". I presume this is an error.

War Drum's description is missing a full stop.

Sweet Scent description missing full stop. Also Roar. Also Muddy Water.

Battle Factory trainer dialogue is all messed up.

Is there any way to get rid of the Safety Specs so I don't crash every time I hover over them? It's very annoying.

 

[El mupp]

Is there any way to get rid of the Safety Specs so I don't crash every time I hover over them? It's very annoying.

I've tried but no success (tossing, giving to pokemon, selling). What I had to do to keep playing was to keep the Safety Specs but re-organize the rest of my bag. There's two ways to do this.

Easy way (wish I had thought of this first): Go to computer>move items. Give all items placed above Safety Specs to different pokemon (if you're stationed below safety specs in the bag then press select to move something above it and go from there). When done, take each item one by one and put it in the bag. Should appear at the bottom below safety specs. That's all it takes, iirc.

If that doesn't work for some reason there's a second, 10 times as tedious and technical process which involves buying and using up two repels at a time while simultaneously re-organizing your bag item by item. It's complicated. I'll explain if needed.

 

[El mupp]

How to complete strength puzzle in Victory Road? The one with ice/mud, two strength boulders and a TM at the end.

Is it simply unsolvable or am I missing something? I've tried tactically re-spawning the boulders and attempted to use the acro bike to defy the sliding-mechanics. Still stuck.

 

[Hippolytus]

I think you have to use an area in the down right corner

 

[agan]

Altered emerald supports link battles?

 

[Marshal M]

I cannot express enough to you how much i love this mod. Emerald is easiy my favorite Pokemon game that isn't a remake if the physical/special split is fixed. You obviously fixed that on top of much more epic s***. Thank you thank you thank you SO much.

 

[Criminon]

Just wanted to say that I really appreciate this hack and how far off the beaten course you went with it. I really enjoyed the tank shell ability, and it was so much fun using aqua ring, tank shell, and leftovers on my blastoise. More stuff like that man!

Great game and well done. I played this a long time ago but just recently thought of it and figured I should give you some mad credit.

As for the dual natures... how the hell did you do that? Haha. I'd really like to impliment that into my hack!

 

[qratz]

(Edited: I just solved this by myself)
Man, its diving me crazy.
I have been literally 2 hours trying to find all the secrets on Pa'i Cannyon. I do not get how to resolve or what to do with the braille tables.
"Tablets" "of" "centroid". What does that mean? What do i do with that? Im absolutely stuck on that puzzle.
Anyone help please?

it seems that theres nothing in the centroid of the "physical" triangle formed by the slabs. Does it talk about any pokemon in particular? centroid of a triangle of 3 pokemons? like it would be regigigas for the regis or lugia for the 3 birds? I dont know man its actually taking me anxious!

EDIT with SOLUTION:

Spoiler:

Damn it was literally in the centroid of the "physical" triangle of the 3 tablets. I have been clicking around that place for minutes. How couldnt i find it before... Jeez... Place yourself on the right of the big berries terrain, look to your right and there it is, the LifeOrb.

 

[Sammybam88]

it says unrecognized gba file *spanks unrecognized gba file message and give it a 100 year timeout*

 

[BadKarma]

The egg-collecting freeze appears to not be fully resolved as of 3.7b. My file prevented me from hatching any Dunsparce (either Male Dunsparce with Ditto, or female Dunsparce with anything in the egg group and/or Ditto), but other combinations were fine. I obviously haven't run through an exhaustive list of all other affected Pokemon, but I can report that at least the Dunsparce line will still freeze the game if you attempt to collect an egg.

Second bug: Hypnosis has no effect, nor does Sing. The Grass-type sleep moves are the only ones that work.

Third bug: Catching Ariados in the Fray Manor does not reward Snatch (I did not try to reload and kill it to test if that works).

Fourth bug: If a Pokemon with Trace traces Gravitate from a Solrock or Lunatone, the secondary activation of the ability prompts Trace to act as a self-casted Imposter, prompting the Pokemon to transform into itself. However, if it's in a double battle, it can target its partner and transform into the partner instead. The sprite does not change, but the moveset does.

Fifth bug (probably): I'm about 99% certain that the Attack boosts granted by the move Sugar Snap are not actually doing anything. I've had up to 3 boosts before without any noticeable increase in damage. I don't believe the Speed boosts are happening, either, but Mawile is so slow that that's harder to notice.

Typo: Cooltrainer Leonel at the bottom of Route 120 says to go west to Lilycove for healing, not east (as it should be).

Sixth Bug: For some reason, Fury Cutter loses its current damage stack and reverts to Stage 1 if the opponent uses a Full Restore (and possibly other items, but I've only seen and tested it against Full Restore Cooltrainers/Rangers).

 

[blitz_2k]

How long until the next patch is released? (the one with the to do list before the next big patch is released)

 

[Iffy]

Drain Punch move tutor is not working properly in Mossdeep. He teaches pound instead. Also Mossdeep City Gym is missing an "M" on the sign.

 

[Daviddt86]

Where can I find Togepi?
Search ages in that tunnel.
Is their a specific way?

 

[Tribute]

Is there an ability capsule in this?

I remember one before but can't find anything in the documents now

 

[bguybni]

Stuck on the 7th gym... Have absolutely no idea what to do. Liza and Tate are OP as F. Can't even get past the opening pair.

 

[Makau]

Really enjoying this so far, beaten 5th gym and doing some of the optional stuff that opens up after you get surf. I'm using the optional type changes patch and had an issue where Altaria was dragon/flying instead of fairy/dragon. Found after poking around and praying with hex editor that you can fix it by changing the hexes from offset 00F6274A to 10 17 (think it was 02 10 before).
Eviolite works on eeveelutions so I'm having fun with that. I'm using it to make Espeon more well rounded and I think it would make an Umbreon completely unkillable.

 

[LionFox]

i would pay someone money to make an updated location list. i would've liked togepi for brawly but i guess i'm SOL
